Black Futures: London

'Black Futures: London' brings artists, entrepreneurs, community activists and others who have ideas about how we reimagine the future for Black communities in London. We are interested to hear from the Black community about how we build on the great work that is already happening as well as identifying areas for change.

Through our discussion we will tap into our imagination and creativity to contribute to an art project which will represent our vision for Black Futures in London. The event focuses on creating a vision on our terms with no limitations or restrictions.

The insights we gather from this event will also help to shape the Building Strong Communities Recovery Mission.

We will be joined by a range of leaders from our community in London who are finding solutions to overcome systemic barriers to ensure our communities. The full line up will be announced soon.

To close the event we will also be joined by Natasha Marin, a conceptual artist and community builder whose work has been recognised by Art Forum, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, NBC (to name a few) She is the curator of BLACK IMAGINATION: Black Voices on Black Futures a book and series of conceptual exhibitions amplifying, centering, and holding sacred a diverse sample of voices including LGBTQIA+ Black youth, incarcerated Black women, Black folks with disabilities, unsheltered Black folks, and Black children. The viral web-based project, Reparations, engaged a quarter of a million people worldwide in the practice of "leveraging privilege," and earned Marin, a mother of two, death threats by the dozens.

People who may only have an hour to spare can drop in to say hello at 12pm, 1pm, 5pm or 6pm.
